1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The intent of this standard is to establish a guide for determining which structural steel supports
and equipment supports should receive fire protection with the objectives of minimizing danger
to personnel fighting fire, spread of fire and damage to process equipment.
1.2 Scope

requirements for the materials and application of fireproofing for hazardous equipment, structural
steel elements, power and instrument cables and control valves within fire hazardous areas of
the plant.
1.2.1 Fire proofing material for structural steel members shall be Chartek 1709 or Pitt-Char
XP. Appendix A and Appendix B are added to this specification to cover requirements
for application of both intumescent fireproofing.

Knee braces and tee supports bearing heavy or critical piping shall be
fireproofed.
The top flange of pipe bearing beams shall not be fireproofed
4.1.3 Equipment Supports
All lugs, brackets, skirts, and legs supporting fire potential equipment located
within the fire potential area shall be fireproofed.
Saddles supporting equipment and measuring more than 1 foot (310 mm) in
height at their lowest points shall be fireproofed within the fire potential area.
Fireproofing in this area shall have a 2-hour rating.
4.1.4 Skirts Supporting Fire Potential Equipment
The outside of skirts supporting process vessels shall be fireproofed.
The inside of skirts over 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter.
Skirts 4 feet (1.2 meters) and less in diameter shall not be fireproofed on the
inside.
Skirts which require insulation shall be fireproofed on the uninsulated
portions only.
4.1.5 Heaters
Structural members supporting fired heaters above grade should be
fireproofed for heaters handling flammable or combustible liquids. Structural
steel members supporting fired heaters in other services should be
fireproofed if located within a fire-scenario area. These include fired heaters
in other-than hydrocarbon service, such as steam superheaters or catalytic
cracking-unit air heaters, if a collapse would result in damage to adjacent
hydrocarbon-processing equipment or piping.
If structural support is provided by horizontal steel beams beneath the
firebox of an elevated heater, fireproofing should be considered for the
beams, unless at least one flange face is in continuous contact with the
elevated firebox.
4.1.6 Reboilers
Supporting lugs and steel supporting reboilers shall be fireproofed. All beams and
columns supporting reboilers shall be fireproofed regardless of the elevation of the
reboilers.
4.1.7 Electric Power and Instrument Cable
Electric, instrument, and control systems used to activate equipment needed to control a
fire or mitigate its consequences (such as emergency shutdown systems and isolation
valves) should be protected from fire damage, unless they are designed to fail-safe
during a fire exposure. If the control wiring used to activate emergency shutdown
devices (including depressurization or isolation system) during a fire could be exposed
to the fire, the wiring should be protected against a 15 minute fire-exposure functionally

The bent mesh sections will be attached using a friction fit method on full flanges.
3. 3 sided beams shall have the inner top flange meshed by laying the uncoated flange facing
down, fireproofing the 3 sides and lying in the flat mesh sections onto the first coat of Pitt-
Char XP before cure. An option for pre erected 3 sided steel beams is to attach weld pins
2mm diameter x 25-50mm long in two rows 300mm centers on each half flange face to
secure the mesh in an inverted position after the first coat of Pitt-Char XP has cured by
bending the pins over the mesh to secure.
4. Adjacent pieces of steel mesh shall be butt joined at seams with a 25mm maximum gap.
5. Mesh shall be installed after approximately 5-6mm of Pitt-Char XP has been applied.
6. Second coat of Pitt-Char XP shall be troweled or rolled into mesh to ensure complete
encapsulation with no voids or mesh edges protruding from the coating.

1. Topcoat of either Sigmadur 550 or Amercoat 450H shall be applied per PPG
recommendation.
2. Unless otherwise specified, topcoat shall be applied within seven days after the PITT-CHAR
XP is applied. If the seven days are exceeded, the surface of the PITT-CHAR XP shall be
sweep blasted or mechanically abraded with 40 grit paper (or equivalent) and solvent
cleaned prior to applying the topcoat.
3. Topcoat shall be applied to a minimum DFT of 2 to 3 mils.

properties.
b. Sample shall be documented on the PITT-CHAR XP Fireproofing Daily Log.
2. The following inspections and tests shall be performed on a daily basis.
a. Degreasing stage – surface contamination – Visual, white cloth check for oils or other
harmful contaminates [SOVENT WIPE TEST]
b. Blast cleaning – Visual inspection to ensure sheen surfaces are dulled by sweep
blasting steel [VISUAL]

Fire Resistance Ratings - ANSI/UL 1709
See General Information for Fire Resistance Ratings - ANSI/UL 1709
1. Steel Column — Min size W10x49 (min. W/D = 0.84, min. Hp/A = 159). The column surfaces
shall be free of dirt, loose scale and oil. Steel surfaces to be primed with polyamide-epoxy or
zinc rich primers to an approximate dry film thickness of 0.003 in.
2. Reinforcing Mesh — Carbon fiber mesh with a 1/4 by 1/4 in. sq pattern (four squares per
inch) weighing 2 oz/sq yd, wrapped around the column flanges and flange tips. Mesh
embedded at approximately mid-depth of mastic coating. Long direction of mesh installed
lengthwise along column, with joints overlapped min. 2 in.
2A. Glass Fiber Mesh — As an alternate to Item 2 for the 1 hr rating only, glass fiber mesh, 6
in. wide, weighing 4.5 oz/sq yd embedded at approximately mid-depth of mastic coating.
2B. As an alternate to Items 2 and 2A, — 1 in. hexagonal wire mesh (No. 20 SWG galv steel
wire), wrapped around the column flanges and secured in position by means of Type C furring
clips spaced approximately 12 in. apart. Mesh embedded at approximately mid-depth of the
coating.
2C. As an alternate to Items 2, 2A and 2B, — 1/2 by 1/2, No. 19 SWG galv steel welded wire
mesh. Butt ended mesh bent to fit tightly over the flange edges along the column length. Galv
or stainless steel flange edge clips shall be used when the required coating thickness exceeds

mesh shall be fastened together across the flange faces with galv wire of 22 gauge or larger.
2D. As an alternate to Items 2, 2A, 2B and 2C, — 1-1/2 in. by 1-1/2 in. welded steel hardware
cloth formed from No. 20 MSG hot dipped galv steel wire or 1/2 by 1/2, No. 19 SWG galv steel
welded wire mesh. Mesh secured to the column with 5/16 in. wide by 3/16 in. deep steel
staples formed from 0.024 in. thick galv steel. Mesh placed at approximately mid-depth of the
coating and extending 2 in. to 4 in. from flange tips on flange faces.
2E. As an alternate to Items 2, 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D, — No. 20 SWG galv steel wire twisted to
form 1 in. hexagons or 1/2 by 1/2, No. 19 SWG galv steel welded wire mesh. Mesh placed at
approximately mid-depth of the coating and extending 2 in. to 4 in. from flange tips on flange
faces.
2F. As an alternate to Items 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D and 2E, — 1/2 by 1/2 in. No. 19 SWG galv steel
welded wire mesh, approximately 8 in. wide, centered over flange edges and bent over 10
SWG wire spacers. Spacers installed across each flange on nominal 18 in. centers. Mesh
fastened in place at each spacer with 10 SWG formed wire clip.
3. Mastic Coating* — Coating spray applied directly from containers to the appropriate
thicknesses shown in the table below.
